Meet Rip, The Engine Behind the Diet

When firefighter Rip Esselstyn discovered that several of his colleagues were in danger due to poor health, he came to the rescue and changed their diets. The results were so dramatic the Rip wrote a best-selling book, The Engine 2 Diet®, to spread the word. If Rip can help save an entire Texas fire brigade, imagine what he can do for you and your family!
